I have recently set up dual monitors on my computer and hooked them both up to my Geforce 6800 graphics card. I am running in horizontal span mode which allows acceleration on both monitor and little frame rate loss. I have my forward monitor as the forward view and I wanted my side monitor to be a 45 degree view but the only problem is I can not get the views to wrap seamlessly. I have tried panning the side views, I have tried virtual cockpit views, I have tried moving the view around with Active camera but no matter what I try I can not get the two views to line up with the correct perspective. Wideview seems to be a good program to use to accomplish this with multiple computers but unfortunately, I only have one computer. Is there any program I can use to set this up correctly with one computer? Thanks for the help.Ryan

Hi Ryan,I've been running one computer/dual monitors for about 6 months now via an ATI 9200. Based on everything that I've researched, I believe that the networked computer/Wideview setup is the only solution. I know what you're trying to accomplish and I don't think it's doable (unless there's another solution as of late I don't know about).I also find that running seperate views on a single card/dual monitor setup really impacts overall performance, and I have a pretty fast machine. I only fly two aircraft....PMDG 737NG-700 and the Aeroworx B200. I'm enjoying using the second monitor for displaying all the popups ie; FMS/GPS, throttles, etc. with no performance hit. I know this doesn't help you exactly, and I too would be interested if you ever find a solution, for I don't plan on networking another computer anytime soon. I can say that I should have gone to two monitors a long time ago. It's just great!Lawrie

not sure if this is the solution you are seeking but i got a second monitor a couple of days agoand when i move something across both screens it lines up. the main one a 19" CRT is higher up than the 15" TFT yet the on screen image lines up perfectly, to do this you need to match the positions of the monitors in Display properties to how you actually have them.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/110040.jpg

comes out something like this:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/110048.jpgthe flash from the camea spoils this a bit but the images line/match up correctly even though the monitors do not.

I can't seem to get the nView to work on my system even though both monitors are running fine, not sure if there is something else i need to install/run to get it working? it is there but all "greyed" out:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/110054.jpg

Sorted it, you need to disable the windows duel monitor (do not extend desktop) and then you can enable nView. it seems Nview expects you to have 2 mnitors the same size as they are both set to the same resolution and refresh rate when using span; windows sees it as one mnitor with a res of 2048x786, therefor for the image to line up not only must you have 2 same size monitors, they must also be the same hieght.

Hey guys,Thanks for the tips. I finally figured it out. I downloaded the documentation for Wideview and it has some tips on how to get your views lined up. I applied those to my panel.cfg and it works. I now have a front view and a 45 degree view and they line up perfectly and I still get 20FPS.Here is how I got it to work:1.) Go into your Nvidia drivers display and under "nView Display settings" set it to horizontal span. Set your left monitor as the primary, that way things span left to right instead of right to left. Make sure the resolution and refresh rates are the same for both monitors. 2.) Right click on your desktop and go into "nView properties." Select the monitors tab and uncheck "Enable window spanning across multiple displays." This will make step 4 easier.3.) Open up the panel.cfg for an aircraft that you want to fly in wideview. Set the following lines in the panel.cfg. VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=3.0, 0.0, 0.0VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=1.2VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_DIR=3.0, 0.0, -45.0 VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_ZOOM=1.2This assumes your extra monitor is on the left. If it is on the right then use this instead of the forward_left linesVIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_DIR=3.0, 0.0, 45.0 VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_ZOOM=1.24.) Start Flight sim and select a resolution. Mine is 2560x980. Open the plane that you added the lines to above. Resize your forward facing window to fit on one screen. (Note: If you did step 2 above you should be able to click the full screen icon in the upper right of the window and it will automatically span one window instead of two)5.) Open a new cockpit view window. Right click in this new window and select "Undock Window." Drag this window over to your other monitor and size it so it matches the size of your forward facing window.6.) Last step is to select the view in the second window. If you have a forward_left window than you can select that view by pressing numpad 7 by default. (If you changed your default keys it may be something different) If it is a right view you can access it by pressing numpad 9 by default. And viola, you should have smooth transition between the two windows. Only disadvantage is the zoom is 1.2 which is a bit magnified to me. Going to keep playing with it to see if I can get it to line up with less zoom.Ryan

Good Topic.. I have been meaning to do this.In fact I may be getting a new computer soon.In which case..I want to use four monitor.Using the Primay monitor of the two computers for the Front views (Front left and Front and right using "wideview" software)..hopefully seamless and the secondary montiors of both as left and right view.For the primary view.. I would like to use a Widesceen (16:9) aspect ratio. One big @ss widescreen monitor for the front view... don't know if I'll be able to see more on a widescreen than a regular 4:3 monitor. Anyone knows?
